    Classic with M&M'S Ice Cream on a Brownie
    James K.

    Amazing cookie and brownie, yummy ice cream. I get the brownie every time. Got the Cookie Dough and Dreamweaver ice cream

    I ordered 72 cookies for delivery from here for an event. There was a BOGO deal going on for 12 packs and a free shipping code on the website, so I spent less than $110 total including delivery and tip. I also emailed the company to get a tax exemption since I was ordering for a student group, and they responded and got it sorted within an hour. The cookies taste great, and I love that they have really great vegan options. Cookies were delivered on time and in good condition. Overall great food and customer service, highly recommend!

    Life's been busy but never busy enough to write a Yelp review! Yesterday my friend and I just happened to be in Harvard square craving a sweet treat and we opted for insomnia cookies. This store is located in the heart of Harvard square, parking in this area is very limited but there are few parking garages in the area as street parking is extremely limited. I wish I could give 5 stars but unfortunately the staff was not the friendliest, which I don't blame because the guy working behind the counter seemed to be the only one there. They menu consist of a great variety of different flavored cookies. One cookie cost less then 3$, which I consider to be a reasonable prices given the area the store is located in. When it comes to flavor the cookies tasted delicious, me and my friend opened for the chocolate chip one. Can't wait to be back and try more flavors.

    The staff are extremely friendly. One gave me a giant free sample of ice cream. The cookies are also baked again for your tasting.

    Deluxe chocolate peanut butter cup

    The cookies at Insomnia are so good! On this visit, I chose a deluxe chocolate peanut butter cup cookie. It was served warm and in a box. The texture was perfect- soft cookie and gooey peanut butter cup. My only problem with this particular location was the service. The employee seemed apathetic and it seemed like serving me was a chore.

    Good variety, vegan options!! Individually packaged for postCOVID times and open late. What's not to love? Good sized cookies that taste homemade and fresh.

    Been wanting to give this place a try for a month after seeing gorgeous pictures of their pastries…read moreon instagram lately. I stopped by on a Sunday early morning right after they had opened and tried several items on display including a plain croissant, a pear danish, blueberry danish, and a valentine raspberry special bowtie. While the pastries looked pretty for instagram, they all needed a LOT more work. Everything here left me sad. There were no flakes, no crumble, and no crisp to the pastries (just soft, limp, sadness). The danishes here are also not cheap, with the blueberry danish being $8. According to the staff, all the danishes had come out fresh out of the oven JUST 30 minutes ago. Can only imagine how much more disappointing the pastries would've been for the people that came in after me. Save yourself a trip here and go to Michette, Lakon, Colette, Cremux Patisserie, SALT, or Little L instead if you're looking for a solid danish or croissant. Will not be back.

    Just made my first visit and I'm wondering why I've never visited before; this place is wonderful,…read moreand for several reasons: - It's a rare city place with a parking lot - Even the street parking is easy - Plenty of seating, soft French music - Friendly staff - First croissant was warm! - Fresh stuff - Extensive selection without having so many that it's overkill - Some nice innovation but not cheap gimmickry aimed at the Instagram set Almond Croissant: Gigantic, still warm, very crusty, very flaky, and a near-liquid almond filling that was in the mild side but naturally sweet rather than pumped up with additives. Good crunch to the bite, sending flaky shrapnel everywhere, but yielding to the tender center. Somewhat buttery. Chocolate croissant: Not as gigantic, but a steal at under $5. Not warm but very fresh, very flaky and delicate, cracking more intensely in the bite with even more shrapnel. Underneath, a very light and fluffy feel, along with a very buttery taste. Not greasy at all; just great flavor, and that's not even counting the dark chocolate, which was understated but effective. Pain au Raisin: Again flaky, but a bit (only a bit) on the dry side, even with the noticeably custardy notes. Good flavor to the dough. Minimal glaze if any. A rung or two lower on the impressiveness scale than the almond and chocolate croissants, but still solid. Blueberry Danish: Nice pastry, many layers, light, crisp and delicate, while still being soft and buttery. Good flavor to the dough and faintly glazed. Surprisingly, the crispness lasted well into the early evening, when tried as a take-home item. Lots of blueberries, fresh and not too fussed with, along with a bit of blueberry compote. No gimmicks, no bombast, just good stuff. Looking forward to a quick return. On my mental shopping list to encompass a few visits: chocolate almond croissant, chocolate chip cookie dough croissant (aka "cookie" and the only gimmicky item I saw), apricot danish, pear danish, pain suisse, and babka.

    Great service and delicious for an after dinner dessert!…read more We came here around 7/8 on a weekend and the place was still pretty busy, but we managed to get a table in the back. They have some seating, but it easily could be a grab and go spot as well. Space was nice and ambiance felt very warm. Three of us shared a flight and while pricy, it was a good variety and every flavor was surprisingly super well done. My favorite was the Dump Him as I'm a fan of a ton of toppings in one singular flavor. Overall, this was a great ice cream spot and I would love to come back to try more of their flavors!

    Delicious small batch ice cream! Great place to walk in and sit down on an afternoon…read more They were very kind in letting us sample multiple flavors for the pint we planned to buy. The oat milk latte flavor is one of the best dairy free flavors I've tried! I ended up getting the "Making Me Nuts" which I liked so much I came back later in the week. Unfortunately, in my first time, there weren't any Reese's in the ice cream so I was very surprised when the Reese's dominated the same ice cream flavor when I ordered it the second time. I'm not sure if this was an intentional changing of the flavor or if the scoop was dramatically different within the same flavor batch, but I was jarred. I didn't really love the texture of the Reese's in the flavor the second time around. That said, I love the base flavor of the ice cream here and it's a very reasonably priced treat, so I'll keep coming back!

    What a gem of a bakery in Somerville! Every dessert on display at this cozy, Palestinian-owned…read morebakery looked so scrumptious. We had such a hard time choosing and settled on the walnut baklava roll and the muska kataifi pisatchio. Everyone working there was so friendly and helpful and even with a line out the door, they were able to keep things moving smoothly. They also gave us small chai samples while we waited to be helped (the chai was spicy and not overly sweet). The baklava and kataifi were perfect -- no notes. Baklava had a great ratio of flaky pastry layers to walnuts. Each bite had the right about of crunch and nuttiness. The amount of syrup used was just right also. Kataifi struck a similarly great balance: a crunchy and sweet shredded wheat exterior rounded out by the richness of pistachios. I wish I could come here all the time and try everything. Definitely keeping this place bookmarked for any future trips to Boston.

Walked in and was greeted with a sample of chai and 2 sample desserts. Ordered the chocolate pistachio cake, This was like Dubai chocolate styled cake with the kataifi in the pistachio. This was nice, I personally could have done without the layer of chocolate on top since it's so hard to break evenly and it was thick in texture to the rest of the cake. The pistachio ricotta cake was phenomenal. I wasn't expecting it to be so light and airy, I had to hold myself back from inhaling the whole thing at once. Both were shared and I got a baklava for my personal treat. I'll be back again very soon!

    No free samples. You can complain about a flavor if you don't like it (once ordered and paid) and…read moreget it replaced, but they throw the original all away. This is their policy and it's fine, just seems wasteful. This also makes it hard to try the unique flavors :( I wouldn't have had an issue (since it's their own policy) but the replacement portion was way smaller. I'm not sure if the staff was having a bad day or not, but it seemed like asking for a replacement flavor was purposefully made uncomfortable to deter you from asking? (P.S. Paying $6 for very little portions plus not having samples of flavors seems counterintuitive.) Also, Horchata is a rice based drink (with its main liquid being milk, water is also added though), so how can that be a vegan option? If they were able to actually have it taste like Horchata (with or without milk) that would've been fine, but it tasted like water + cinnamon. This was the flavor that brought me to this place so I was disappointed :( Overall, I might come back for the Cold Brew and Brown Sugar Vanilla flavors when I want a sweet treat (there are other sweet places for a better price and experience). But the fact that I ended up liking two of the most basic flavors out of the whole menu disappoints me :/

The front area feels closer to a coffee house or bookstore than a bar - which made it very cozy. I'd be interested in coming back for classes and workshops. While I do crave real chopped liver in lieu of eggplant or pastrami for beets - I honestly didn't feel like I was missing anything. Oh, and that dessert! Chocolate pave was so dang good.

    TLDR: You can't go wrong with a warm, freshly made waffle…read morehere, but people definitely have their individual preferences. My recommendation is to go with the Liege waffle with berries and your pick of any other toppings. With a cozy atmosphere and the smell of warm waffles, this is an especially good spot during the colder months, but still a favorite in the warmer months too. ------ FOOD: THE LIEGE (5/5) The Liege waffle is the classic here and the one I'd recommend. Sweet, thick, and a richer snack (i.e. the satisfying treat you're probably looking for if you're stopping by a waffle shop). All of the topping combos are classic, and the berries they use here are high quality. Waffles come out hot and fresh after just being made, so if you order ice cream or whipped cream, know that you'll have to eat quickly if you don't want it to melt into the waffle. THE BRUSSELS (4.5/5) Besides the Liege, the Brussels waffle is an interesting choice and very different from the Liege. As the menu describes, it's definitely significantly lighter, and it's crispier in a different way (not from the caramelization of the pearl sugar but from crisped up batter similar to an Ego waffle). It's extremely delicate, so I'd recommend just doing some powdered sugar and maybe a chocolate drizzle or some whipped cream. ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Small shop on the edge of Harvard Square. Some window seating and a few small tables best for groups of 2 - 4. * Given how small it is inside, finding a seat during peak hours can be particularly challenging, and lines can be out the door too. ------ SERVICE: * Order at the kiosk and then find a seat (if you can). When a waffle is done, they'll call a name and come to you once you indicate that it's for you. * Water and utensils are self-service, and the expectation is that you put your plates, utensils, and cups away in a bin inside by the counter.

    Perfect for sitting quietly on a sunny afternoon, especially when you're feeling down…read more Gourmand Waffle: Liege waffle/banana/whipped cream/caramel. The ultimate sweetness is evident from the ingredients. The waffle was light and crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside; the sweetness of the banana and caramel is mellow and rich, the pearl sugar was slightly caramelized, and the sweetness of the cream was natural and light. Every bite offered a different layer of flavor. But most importantly, it was really sweet, and sweetness is the most soul-stirring enjoyment. It was sweet enough to bring peace, allowing you to temporarily escape the world and focus on this plate of beautiful fairytale. Café au Lait (Latte): Beautifully layered, with a natural milky aroma. But what does the menu mean by confusing café au lait with latte?
